Is it true that you are naked during the body scrub & massage at a Korean Spa?

I have a gift certificate to a Korean spa in Los Angeles but after seeing some of the reviews I'm a little nervous about going. I made an appointment for a body scrub and massage. Apparently, from what I've read, you lie completely naked on a wet table where they use scrub mittens and scrub you everywhere including your breasts, butt crack, and your genital area. A massage on the same table follows with the same person. Has anyone ever tried this? Is it as invasive as it sounds?

I've never had a treatment like this so I can't directly answer your question. I will say that it sounds like a lovely gift and it would be a shame to pass on such an indulgence. If you're uncomfortable, maybe wear an old bikini and explain that you won't be needing them to scrub every last inch of you. Also, trust that they have seen all shapes and sizes and skin types and scars and whatever else you can imagine to be self-conscious about - they've seen it all before, so turn off your brain and just enjoy the relaxation.
